online shop just over a year ago and within a month we got nominated for Toy of The Year, the top industry award, which was a big surprise for our small business. But the best part was seeing families unbox our sets on Christmas day and getting messages about how much children love the play-pattern. As an often overwhelmed parent, it made me smile when a mom wrote to me that not only did the kids play with it for hours, but she even managed to have a cup of coffee."
"Meanwhile, we are completely bootstrapped, so it’s always a big challenge to compete as a small business with the mammoths of the toy industry, but we are getting there, one good product at a time. I remember reading about the inventor of this mega hit toy who came up with the idea after realizing how many hours kids spend on YouTube watching unboxing videos and wanted to monetize it by creating a toy that went viral. My hope is that we become a toy company known for good design and putting families and children’s needs first."

"The four Montessori-inspired objects help with pattern recognition, tummy time, helping the baby learn how to sit, and fine motor skill development. Like our Azul set, it comes with easy play ideas for parents."

limited edition set is inspired by Frida Kahlo’s famous house. It has all the ingredients of a very fun set; in just a few minutes kids can build a playhouse, a puppet theater, and a little kitchen while learning about Frida's life through a beautifully illustrated poster."
"It's also a beautiful design piece, with gorgeous silkscreens that closely match the colors of Frida’s house. And like all of our large sets, it folds flat once you are done. Let’s just say it has all the ingredients of a 'wow' present they'll play with all year long."

open-ended play in a variety of settings—alone, with siblings or friends, in combination with other toys—is a winner in my books. That said, I always look for a small quirky toy to go with a larger item, that I know will match my children’s interests du-jour."
